Abstract
An optical transmitter receiver module and an apparatus incorporating the same module are provided, which realizes the reduction of power consumption and the enlargement of the operating temperature range. As an example, an optical transmitter module is provided which comprises a light emitting element to generate a light signal, a signal processing circuit to transmit an electrical signal to the light emitting element and a voltage regulating circuit to lower a power voltage so as to supply the signal processing circuit with a constant voltage, wherein the module is further provided with a current regulating circuit to shunt a part of a current to be supplied into the voltage regulating circuit from a power source so as to generate a control current and a temperature controller to receive the control current so as to control a temperature of the light emitting element, wherein the module is further provided with a temperature detector to detect the temperature of the light emitting element and a temperature controlling circuit to control the control current according to an electrical signal output by the temperature detector.
